The best restaurants serving Indian food in Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

Wow. Just wow. We had read the reviews prior to booking and fair to say it did not disappoint. On a very busy Thursday evening they managed to squeeze us in. The restaurant was vibrant and seemed all customers were buzzing which made the atmosphere very enjoyable and welcoming. We’d come with a party of 4 and loved every minute of it🥳 we had a range of dishes going from the traditional “nutritious” rogan Josh to the house specials of sylheti lamb. The flavours were exceptional and all varied in spices and taste just the smell alone had us all salivating🤤 the lamb was so unbelievably tender it’d just melted in your mouth. It was truly exceptional. Restaurant was immaculately clean and tidy and could see the staff took pride in their work everyone beaming with a smile it truly made it so welcoming. At the end of the meal the amazing manager Akil came over and got us all a round of complimentary drinks which had just put the icing on the cake of a truly brilliant experience at this fine establishment. We all can’t wait to go back and will plan a visit back to Pickering so we can visit once again. Keep up the good work guys!! Will see you soon😝

Very nice Indian meal, warm welcome and very attentive service. Lots of the dishes contained nuts, we have an intolerance, so had to be careful when ordering, but host was very helpful.

Curries were very bland and lacking in flavour. The chutney tray pots were very small and only half full. Also, one of the dishes was different to what was ordered. When we rang up to complain they said they had ran out of the main ingredient and the delivery driver should have told us at the point of delivery. This is not acceptable as we should have been told before it was delivered.

The standard of food and portion size from this Indian restaurant is second to none. Ignore the rumours from neighbouring shops and their cohorts scaremongering about hygiene standards in the kitchen, this restaurant is certainly worth a visit. The restaurant is mock Tudor and, like the staff, is very welcoming. Parking is yards away in the market place of Helmsley. The chicken tiki achari is amazing, their fish choices vast and their Chefs Recommendations and Spice Specials must be looked at and tried. This review is from a die hard lifelong curry eater, but the food served here is exceptional.

This place used to be amazing. Unfortunately it is now a run down poor excuse of its former self. We pulled into the car park almost sure that the restaurant had closed down. The place looked in a state of disrepair with paint falling of the walls and window frames. We were just about to leave when a member of staff came out and assured us they were open. Dubiously we went in, remembering how great it used to be. Inside, the decor was not much better, it was very tired, in need of some TLC and investment but as we were the only people in the place I guess that investment won't be coming any time soon as this place cannot possibly be trading very much longer unless it survives on take-away trade. Upon taking our drinks order, we were disappointed to be informed that they had no beer (draught or bottled) so had soft drinks. Unfortunately the disappointment didn't stop there as when our main courses came out, one was inedible and the other extremely salty to the point where it was only just edible. To be fair, the staff did offer to replace both of our meals, but we felt that the damage was done and just wanted to leave. I would strongly recommend you avoid this place, it is certainly not what it used to be. Such a huge shame.

What a lovely meal we have just had. Sadly the restaurant was a little empty but the staff were lovely and our food was fabulous. I would definitely go back if visiting Pickering again!

Quality food. We dined in. Lamb passanda very good. Also ordered vegetable biriani, korai chicken palak, naan, onion bargies and pilau rice. Good service.
